🧠 The Daily Fact #37

Some people can hear colors or taste sounds due to a rare neurological condition called synesthesia. In this unusual phenomenon, sensory pathways in the brain overlap, causing one sense to trigger another. For example, a person with chromesthesia might hear music and instinctively "see" different colors for each note, while someone with lexical-gustatory synesthesia might taste specific flavors when hearing certain words. While not fully understood, synesthesia is often linked to heightened creativity and is more common among artists and musicians.
